Basics

Intro

The premise of the game is for 1-4 players to collaborate to defend Brisbane city (represented by a cardboard city) against a giant monster, The Kaiju (played by a moderator/game master). The game is played with one or several decks of playing cards (or modified cards, provided below).

Winning and Losing

The city must stand! If all buildings fall (or the players run out of cards) the Kaiju wins. If the Kaiju runs out of cards, he retreats and the city is saved, for now.

Buildings and Setup

The city consists of up to 30 buildings, 9 large ones and 21 smaller ones. Setup the buildings according to the layout below. The large buildings have 6 hit points and small ones 3 hit points.

Cards

Once a card has been used it is to be put in a discard pile, the graveyard, face up.

Turns

The Kaiju always starts. The Kaiju and players take turns. The order is Kaiju, player 1, Kaiju, player 2, etc.

At the end of each player turn, draw cards to fill your hand but play any instant cards that you draw.

Pacing

The game is meant to take no more than 20-30 minutes. Make sure to keep a good pace!
